How many of you experience eating with bare hands?
Not all maybe. Some people prefer eating with spoon and fork because it is in accordance with the table etiquette.
However, most Filipinos enjoy this lifestyle, particularly those who live in the rural areas. This is part of the culture already. It might be unhealthy for others, but for some, it adds more appetite in the food. Further, it's fun!
In the urban areas, many Filipinos prefer to eat in a fast food that provides unlimited rice, such Mang Inasal. Although there are few who provide unlimited rice in their menu, but for some people like me, nothing beats this fast food in using bare hands in eating. You seldom see a customer using spoon and fork.
Is it better to eat with your hands?
"It is not harmful to humans, it, in fact, protects us from many damaging microbes in the environment. When you eat with your hands, the flora in the fingers is swallowed. It is beneficial for health and for various body parts such as the mouth, throat, and intestine, and it promotes healthy digestion in the gut.
